England tour of South Africa 09/10

Unbelievable how the selectors can get it wrong, where the hell is Friedel De Wet? yes he was a last minute sub for Steyn but the guy showed more determination than Ntini, and it's sad to say that Ntini's inclusion is only due to the fact that South Africa wants to pay him a tribute for the years of service he's given to the team but the time is up!

Jacques Kallis is not at full fitness and bowling him is only getting his morale down in my opinion, it's time they get it right, as to why England can come here and bowl on the right line and length, bat out the way they've done is just an embarrassment you should be able to use your strengths at home against the opposition not make it an even playing game or in this matter give an advantage to the touring side.

There are so many guys that would have done much better in this team, Wayne Parnell, Friedel De Wet, CJ de Villiers, Ryan Mclaren, Johan Botha

Don't think this game will turn out in a result, the pitch is playing a lot more easier than it did the first two days, the outfield is also getting a bit more faster but for South Africa to have given the position England is in now is beyond me, and taking nothing away from the effort the english have put in, they deserve to win this test
 
Bit of swing for Jimmy here. 3 wickets by the end of the day (inc Smith/Kallis) and I'm happy. Good knocks by Bell and Prior today.

I half wish that Bell hadn't scored that century today. Is he the kind of player we really want playing for England? As you said Colin, it's shocking that he's never scored a century to rescue the team before, only icing the cake.

And only England could injure the player who scored 91 the day before in the warm-up...:sarcasm

Yeah, they shouldn't have a warm-up.
 
Ian Bell > Sachin Tendulkar/Brian Lara. Simple really.

That's quite a tremendous leap you've made there.

Bell's OK, but he's not spectacular by any stretch of the imagination. He needs 30 more centuries before we could consider getting into the Tendulkar argument.
 
Swanny with a great piece of bowling. Next wicket is vital. Smith and Kallis in. 10-for for Swann?

I don't think you got the Sarcasm in my post. Of course I know he is nowhere near the likes of those 2! Those were truley class acts, and whilst Bell is great to watch and an elgeant player, of course he doesn't come close to match them.

Graeme Swann on the other hand, he is an absolute beast!

You're right I didn't pick up on the sarcasm.

Wow, Swann with another big wicket. I'm hoping he has a long career. Lots of wickets for him this year!
 
Stuey B gets in on the action with a lovely ball, how long will it take him to realise fully that when he picthes it up he gets wickets?
 
Graeme Swann is simply a legend! I'm worried about Kallis and Smith being in, we need another wicket today to really put is in a sure-win situation.

BROADY YOU BEAAAAUUUTTYYY!! Kallis bowled!

This really is annoying, can't watch the damn thing!
